Today we are discussing a difficult but important topic. It's a subject we believe needs to be spoken about more openly so mothers know they are not alone. About 10 to 20 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage. But the actual number is likely higher because many miscarriages occur very early in pregnancy — before a person might even know about a pregnancy. We hear our expert panelists discuss how parents can navigate pregnancy after loss, what resources are available, that often difficult decision to not have more children and being content with the family that one has, and dealing with the changes that the body goes through after loss, how to approach fitness after miscarriage or loss, and a parent's understandable array of mixed emotions and anxiety of losing a child. The third HER Health Collective Roundtable of 2022 featured the following HER Expert panelists: Dr. Charryse Johnson – experienced Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor offering over 20 years of experience serving as a counselor, consultant, and educator. She holds a PhD in Counseling Psychology, NCC 2021. Nicole Wallace - a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years experience helping adults and children with overcoming trauma, managing life transitions, and developing coping skills. Christy Maloney – Registered Dietitian and Certified Eating Disorders Registered Dietitian – Supervisor, CEDS-S specializing in helping those with eating disorders and disordered eating from her practice, Enhance Nutrition Associates. Jenna Somich - Certified Personal Trainer & Health At Every Size certified Trainer Today's episode includes a discussion of the following topics: Practical advice & tips for those navigating a pregnancy loss or miscarriage Recommended resources for parents to turn to in times of grief and loss The impact of loss on family planning & finding peace with the size of one's family Dealing with the feeling of one's body betraying oneself Ideas on how to support and what to say and not say to a friend or loved one suffering through the loss of a pregnancy or child Nurturing the body and finding oneself again after a loss How to handle the anxiety that comes through this type of loss and potentially handle future pregnancies How the Roe v. Wade reversal impacts mothers in these experts' practices Resources: RTZ hope.org. Sbe mom.org. StillBirthday.com Body Kindness. Body Keeps the Score.

In this special episode, Michelle honors Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness month and October 15th: Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day.
